Ill go for the yellow one i think.:cool:

Ill give you a call later to arrange when ill pick it up and stuff.

Id delete your number if i were you;)

well if anything,this thread has generated(no pun) a sale for carl :) comission carl? :)

dave

i was after one about 3 months ago but there was no chance of getting one, i didnt even know carl wheeled and dealed them:D .

nps business number home phone is different

Just out of curiosity though how many of us would turn a blind eye if one came up at a very reasonable price. There is no chance that anyone would take it off you, they simply wouldn't be bothered.

you could always argue the point that you bought it second hand etc as an example.

If i got offered a cheap(er) gennie i would deffo take the risk.

Col.:cool:

I think the majority of us would.

my thoughts!

Bigred,

Do you do anything in the lines of servicing etc? or just know much about them in general?

I've got the 1000ti yellow one, and still have probs with it. sometimes it will run for ages at home, without a problem. then I take it to a race meeting and every time it fails to fire up. I get it back home and the plug is black and wet?
Any Ideas?

Starting to get on my nerves now. Cos when I get it home and it usually works?!

I think its got 'raceday phobia'.:D

you are moving the switch from "start" to "run" i presume?

also, make sure the vent thingy on the petrol cap is set to on as well.

my kipor (oh no! a red one! :eh?:) had trouble keeping going once because i left it on start and also left the vent shut.

telboy put petrol in not diesel!!
as burgie has said the vent if shut will creat a vaccum and the fuel will starve
when on start will give extra fuel from being on choke

one thing ur meant to do is switch the auto throttle off so it revs well and warms up once its running ok switch to auto (helps clean the plug from being on choke.

top up ur oil level too

my advice tell would be get a new plug in it,(lawn mover or maybe auto centre) once they have fouled they dont clean out too easy, a new one will make it run cleaner

if your stuck i can give u a service agent to contact for em

diesel......:rolleyes:

Yep doing everything right in terms of starting etc.

I'll try a new plug and see what happens there.

i would take it to a local tool hire firm thats were i get all mine done 10 15 quid usually sounds like it needs a air filter or carb tune

Is that running at home with no load?

i've had it running with and without load.

could it be something to do with transporting it?

strange,they usually start on first pull

turn the switch to on
move choke to start
pull and away it goes
check choke has auto moved back to run

if the plugs wet then its either too rich or you have an electrical problem somewhere,if its starting intermittent then i would check the ht lead/cap.

dave

my choke on my kipor in manual?

ht lead could be loose but tell has had plug out regular

tell was it new or used?

the start/run slide is the choke mark i beleieve.

usually if the plug is sooty black its to rich,but a wet plug suggests its electrical..maybe drop a strobe checker on the ht lead and see if its firing the plug?

dave

it is but how do you mean auto closed in ur post higher up????

black sooty = rich when running
wet = rich, too much fuel flooding engine, no spark fouled plug not producing clean spark, oil getting past rings (should get blue smoke when running)

usually when the genny starts it flicks the slider back to the run position,,but not always,sometimes you have to move it manually.

dave

hmm ok mine dont !
